The best move Kelly has made since he's been at ND.
Get rid of VanGorder. That secondary would have been torched the whole game yesterday.

BVG defense at Bowling Green has given up 194 points in 4 games
Againsst MAC opposition. Astounding. 48.5 a game.
How does he keep getting hired? Seriously

A close second is Chip Long.
And getting rid of Longo
We would have been down to our 3rd and 4th stringers due to injuries and lack of strength and conditioning. 2014 was a glaring example of that.
Lea looks like a genius hire now. I'd say so far Rees looks pretty solid too.
I really like the approach on both offense and defense that emphasizes the LOS. Looking back, I think Chip Long was just a little too precious for his own good. I like that Rees has turned what has been ND's top recruiting strength (OL) into an actual game strength. What Lea (and Elston) have done in the defensive front is pretty amazing. Unlike the OL, the DL is not fully filled out with a bunch of high-rated recruits. It's just waves of guys with varying degrees of recruiting pedigree who come in and do the job. For every Foskey, Ademilola, and Hayes (top drawer recruits) there is a Hinish, MTA. and a Ogundeji (3* recruits) just making plays and making plays. The team plays tough football on both sides of the ball, and it is fun to watch. I give Kelly some credit. Of course, as jim notes, he also is the guy who hired BVG. So maybe the credit is about learning lessons and willingness to change. Or maybe he just got lucky.
I think Rees might be the next Sean McVay
